Why do I need student travel medical insurance?Many schools, visa programs, and countries require you to have student travel insurance when you arrive.

In addition, your health insurance at home may not cover you when you travel abroad, which means you may be responsible for the bill if you get sick or hurt when traveling. Some foreign medical providers will even require you to pay for services upfront before they treat you.

WHY BUY A LIAISON® STUDENT PLAN?You’re busy studying or teaching abroad, and you need reliable protection. No matter where you go, our Liaison Student plans follow you with comprehensive medical coverage, an extensive network of providers, and 24-hour travel assistance. Make sure you’re covered before you leave home!

WHO CAN BUY A LIAISON STUDENT PLAN?Requirements for the primary participant – The person listed first on the policy (primary participant) must be a full-time student, faculty member, or scholar between 12 and 64 years of age, who is engaged in full-time educational or research activities while residing outside their home country.1 They must also meet these requirements:

• U.S. citizens traveling outside the United States – You must have a valid visa issued by your host country,if required. U.S. citizens cannot buy a Liaison Student plan for travel to the United States and/or U.S. territories.

• Non-U.S. citizens traveling to the United States – You are required to have a valid J-1, H-3, F-1, M-1 or Q-1 visa or similar appropriate visa and may participate in an OPT program.

• Non-U.S. citizens traveling outside the United States – You must have a valid visa issued by your host country, if required.

Requirements for dependents – The primary participant can buy coverage for their legal spouse (your legal domestic partner or legal civil partner) and unmarried children (over 13 days and under 19 years or under 26 years if attending an accredited institution full-time). 1For non-U.S. citizens, home country is the country where you have your permanent residence. For U.S. citizens, home country is always the United States.

Underwriter You can feel confident with Liaison Student’s strong financial backing through Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s, London an established organization with an AM Best rating of A (Excellent). Rest assured, your coverage will be there when you need it.

Liaison® Student Travel | Page 8

Coverage for Pre-existing ConditionsThis includes any medical condition, sickness, injury, illness, disease, mental Illness or mental or mental nervous disorder whether or not previously manifested, symptomatic, known, diagnosed, treated or disclosed during the 36-month period immediately before your coverage begins.

Pre-existing conditions are covered in two ways:

Acute Onset of a Pre-existing Condition

This coverage is provided during your first 364 days of coverage.

We pay up to the amount shown in the Schedule of Benefits for an acute onset of a pre-existing condition if it occurs during the initial 364 days of your coverage period and if you receive treatment within 24 hours of the sudden and unexpected recurrence. We pay for one acute onset per pre-existing condition.

Coverage is available for eligible medical expenses until the condition is no longer acute or you are discharged from the hospital.

This benefit does not include coverage for known, scheduled, required, or expected medical care, drugs or treatments existent or necessary prior to the date your coverage began.

What is an Acute Onset of a Pre-existing Condition? It is a sudden and unexpected outbreak or recurrence of a pre-existing condition that occurs spontaneously and without advance warning either in the form of physician recommendations or symptoms and requires urgent care. A pre-existing condition that is congenital or that gradually becomes worse over time will not be considered an acute onset. Also, a pre-existing condition will not be considered an acute onset if during the 30 days prior to the acute event you had a change in prescription or treatment for a diagnosis related to the acute event.

Waiver of Pre-existing Conditions After you have been continuously covered for 364 days under a Liaison Student plan, we waive the pre-existing condition exclusion, so that pre-existing conditions are covered the same as other conditions with applicable copay, deductible, and coinsurance.

Mental Illness Including Alcohol & Substance Abuse Medical expenses for inpatient and outpatient treatment of mental illness, alcohol, and substance abuse expenses are covered as shown in the schedule. For all plan options, inpatient treatment is limited to 45 days.

Non-contact Amateur Sports Medical expenses are covered as shown in the schedule if you are injured while participating in a non-contact amateur sport. These sports include: high school, interscholastic, intercollegiate, intramural or club sports exclusive to the following list of covered sports: tennis, squash, ultimate frisbee, kickball, volleyball, track & field, water-polo, baseball, basketball, aerobics, dancing, sailing, sea kayaking/canoeing, horseback riding, surfing, snow skiing, snowboarding, roller skating, rollerblading and swimming.

Filing a ClaimFor a claim to be payable, it must meet the terms and conditions in the Liaison Student Certificate of Insurance. In addition, you must submit a complete claim form to us within 90 days of the date of service. Claims are paid two ways:

1) We pay your provider if they did not require you to pay upfront. To do this, we need an itemized bill from the provider along with a claim form completed by you.

2) We reimburse you if you paid medical expenses upfront. To do this, we need an itemized receipt (showing you paid the expenses) along with a claim form completed by you.
